Things learned

I have not scroll sawed in 8 years so far this is what I have learned.

 

1. Darn these lines are thin.

2. You now have bifocals use them and a magnifying glass.

3. Saw dust in your drink is a good thing its just fiber.

4. It's low c and not high c.

5. Make sure to feel the whole blade on a reverse tooth blade it works better.

6. So what if the T broke off.

7. Nothing I do is going to hang in the Louvre in France. But it might in the local bar.

Here's 3 more for an even 10.

8. Blade lube on the pattern is Not a good idea.

9. The saw blade works better if the teeth are faceing forward and you didn't file them down.

AND

!0. If the saw breaks don't take it to the shop that says "Whats a scroll saw.".

Also,

If you're cutting small stuff that you need to keep

- number the pieces - DON'T assume you'll know where they go afterwards

- when you drop a piece on the floor, check where the corner of the scrollsaw is BEFORE you stand up or you'll find it with your head

When I first got into this about a year ago, a well versed scroll saw veteran wrote in an article two things that stuck with me. And I might add make my life on the saw more enjoyable and less stressful ;)

One pattern lines are only suggestion markers its OK to get off line. :thumbs:

Second mistakes add character to the piece. :thumbs:

Only you will know the error of your ways, unless you point them out, so sit back, breath, sip sawdust tea, and enjoy this art form to it fullest.

Pa Pa
